i have buddies who told me about a guy falling while snowboarding and injuring his ribs to the point that it messed up his breath control, so he had to sit out of his hobby for a few months. something tells me they were talking about psycoses.

5 minutes in and i'm not entirely sure how he's gonna loop around back to the point at hand, but i hav faith

so far it's just rly basic youtube history in their upload rules which are largely due to the fact youtube wasn't always a google company lol

i love luke's content but this is really niche

i don't know or follow youtube history so i found it interesting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

none of this is really a topic i'd spent time thinking about

if by wine u mean rightfully placed displeasure
then yeah i wouldn't mind some god damn cheese..but i aint mad

Think about what you are saying. Luke is making videos to help get better quality versions of classic videos out. That helps the culture, and you in here posting that he doesn't care about the culture. So by wine, I actually mean whine.

he wouldnt even have a youtube channel if he didnt double cross me so i think i got the right to JVL him

surprised that i've only seen one person comment on the fact that at like 6 1/2 minutes in the screen goes black up until almost the very end but what returns is just a couple short clips without audio and it also ends abruptly. @Luke ya might wanna check it out.

Im not though. As laid out in the video, battles uploaded a decade ago would have looked like shit...

no, battles uploaded a decade ago did look like shit

we're in 2016

a decade ago was 06 and they looked like shit

they no longer look like shit and the raw footage from older battles is readily available if one cares enough to look for it -- as is proven by the fact you've got all of it, and you're no one special who would have been there to get the SD card fresh out the camcorder.

it's pretty easy. old videos on youtube look like shit. new videos on youtube look good. there's a gradual improvment in quality because of both battling's budget improving and the fact youtube's improving. i just don't get it, really

Smh I hate this man. If I do a video called "CRAZIEST SHIT IN BATTLE RAP" i get 5000 billion views... Meanwhile this video will max at 5k views.

Thank you so much

If it counts for anything, I completely feel your pain. I am currently considering whether to close my site or go for more of those types of videos. Actually uploading original well-researched content seems like a mugs game, lol

it's not a mug's game.

if you're making in-depth content on shit no one cares about, like battle rap's 2006 philadelphia remasters, then i don't expect you get any views past the niche audience you're already pretty lucky to have amassed.

most people involved in battle rap that want to find some battle from Lionz Den in original quality could find it pretty quickly if they wanted to, just some asking around and some old forums would give you a result.

if you make in-depth content on a game like Counter-Strike, for example, and do all the maths required to get to a general point most would care about at the end... ex. "SMGs vs Assault Rifles at Mid Range: Counter-Strike in-Depth!" is a video full of complex ideologies with maths that only a few care about, with the general conclusion that "yeah, use Assault Rifles -- they're probably going to be better!" it's accessible on multiple levels to multiple sub-sections of your audience.

luke's audience is adept battle rap fans. most to all of us know a lot of the shit he does before we click; and the unique videos he proposes aren't worth it because not only was this video nigh useless in the case of that there's pretty clear-cut explanations to all he's said, but it's just not a topic ANYONE is checking for.

as someone who's talked to Luke about how annoying it's been for him to try to get old battle footage, this is wildly untrue & you're kind of acting like a dick

how many people are going back and watching these battles? none xpt the fucking nerd doing research for his little list thats who. 100% irrelevant just say it how it is ppl

Luke spends probably 30 hours a week of his spare time watching battles, catologuing moments, so he can best bring compilations to people. He's constantly asking people about battles they remember, trying to get information, and trying to find what they want to watch. He spends countless hours trying to find old battle footage that has been lost or is in the hands of people who don't want to share it. In a lot of circumstances, he's spent the small amount of money he has to get footage from some of these people who have tapes.

Is there anyone out there who's harassing people to get Fight Klub original footage? Or basically trying to find classic Philly battles to post on youtube?

Luke has his faults--don't get me wrong--but what he does for battle rap is incredibly impressive and praise worthy. He works very hard to give back to battle rap and is doing his absolute best. Giving shit to people like that is really mean, imo.

yea ur right its mean he just triggers me and its out of hate and jealousy and the fact hes too far for me to ever "get back at him and show him"

luke just quoted my post asking for 7 events' raw footage. if you guys can round up 50 active posters on this site who give a single fuck about any of those events i'll spend a whole week searching for it and admit i'm wrong when i inevitably don't find Marv Won vs Eminem's ex-wife outside of a Burger King's original footage.

of course i'm kind of acting like a dick, it's content with an already niche subsection of a niche fanbase and he wonders why these videos struggle in comparison to his more accessible ones. maybe it's just me. maybe i am wrong.

he asked for those because you made it sound like it'd be easy to do, which it isn't. and he voiced a frustration that standard clickbait videos get more views than the ones he likes making... don't see the big deal there

I don't think he wonders why they struggle and I don't know why that'd make you be a dick about it anyway
